I DO NOT own the Legend Of Zelda, it belongs to nintendo.
Maybe Once, But Not Twice
A clock sounded in the distance, It marked the reaching of midnight and the time for the runaway. The cloaked figure floated around a corner, and quickly walked across the large, magnificent hall. As they neared their destination the figure quickly turned around. Voices, coming from, the wall? They started walking back, stopping to press their ear against a large golden door. At first, there was nothing, but after a couple of seconds they could hear a man bellow in the room. He sounded familiar. "I have called thee, for an important meet today." Muttering was heard. "There has been a rumor, a joke as thee may say it, that one of our great leaders has had.." he paused for a second. "Has had 'relationships,'" One third of the audience gasped. The other two thirds sat in silence. "with a mortal being." Those that didn't gasp at first, finally did, out of shock and betrayal. This, wasn't going to be fun to hear. "Where," he continued. "Would thee hear such a thing?" A yellow haired woman stood up from her chair. "I Sir," she started. "did not hear it, I read it. While I was fixing up Majesties room I came across a book."
The cloaked figure gasped and spun around to lean against the door. They knew, and those that didn't, would soon too. It was hard to hold back the tears, what would happen to her just-born child? She turned around to put her ear against the door again. "In the book, Majesty described love, dreams, and hope. Majesty spoke about hoping her child would be brave and good like their father." the woman continued, along with more gasping coming from the crowd. "And how, if I may interrupt, did exactly you come across the book?" The woman swallowed a lump in her throat. "It was um.. oo-no on on the floor." she stuttered. "On the page where she talked about him and...IT." "Do you still have this book?" he questioned. "Yes," she quickly said. "Bring it forward." "As you wish." she said making her way toward him. "Here, its on the fifteenth page."
The man seemed reluctant to read the book, but how would she know? She wasn't even in the room, yet, she could feel it.
The man made a face as he read it over. "Very well than, this meeting is dismissed."
The cloaked woman put a hand to her mouth, before turning to run down the hall to her bedroom. She looked frantically around her room until she remembered where what she was looking for was. She reached under her bed and then ran for her closet. Kneeling down to the ground, she gently put her arms around a small bundle and held it to her chest. "Shh..." she cooed before stepping backwards and heading towards her window. "It's for the best and your safety." she said while undoing the latch on the window. Clutching the bundle closer to her chest she took a deep breath and prepared to jump. 'It looked so much easier when Link did it.' she thought to herself. 'Here we go..' The wind was warm and she landed where she had predicted, on the golden bush. She quickly got up and ran to the stables, she had to hurry before anyone caught her running away. She looked around before setting her eyes towards the pastel horse in the back. "Who goes there?"
She turned around and gasped. Had she been seen? Yes. She got the closest horse near her and rode it out of the stables, not bothering to look behind her to see who was yelling at her. It wasn't her first choice but this horse would have to do. After she made it to the lush forest she yanked the horse to a stop. She looked down at her child and smiled. Her smile didn't last very long though, there was a distant sound of voices coming from behind them and after turning her head to look behind her, tapped the horse into a gallop. 'faster, faster,' she thought to herself. As if reading her thoughts, the horse picked up speed and within two hours, they were nearing her destination. "You're going to make it!" she cried out in joy. She urged the horse to a stop when it was about 29 feet away and jumped off, walking towards the cliff. Looking down made her heart stop. Why, why was she having to do this? Her daughter. The only child she would bear from the man she truly loved, but they could never, ever be together. Before taking one step off the cliff she whispered Three words. "Fulfill your destiny."
It wasn't before it was to late that she realized that she didn't plan where she would fall, now she would have to face the pain if she wasn't lucky and landed on the hard ground. Normally, she would have used her magic to float or appear here, but unfortunately, she had had used most of her energy. She didn't know that after staying up late because of her child she would have to walk back to the palace because she heard about the rumors about the secret meeting. THEN after hearing what they had planned, had to go and hide her baby daughter. She got lucky, she landed in a small lake, but in the middle of nowhere. "Now I have to walk..why do I have to do this?" The baby giggled. Apparently she thought the face her mother was wearing was funny. Her mother laughed. "That's right, it's for you." she paused for a second to gaze at her first daughter. "This is all for you." She started toward a small clearing. Using wisdom to guide her over the river and through the woods, she soon found the village to which she was searching for. "Your almost in safe Hands," she said while quickly but thoroughly scanning the area and when she was sure she was the only one there, made her way across the field to the house farthest from the others. "We are here." she said while trying to hold the tears in but, soon, she felt many tears flow down her cheek and start making rivers on the ground. She put her treasure on the deck of the house and let out a muffled cry. "I love you," she said kissing her daughters forehead before she knocked on the door four times and ran for the cover of the forest. Halfway there, she looked back one more time to see the daughter she was leaving behind reluctantly. "I love you." she mouthed. She looked up hearing the door unlatch, and then ran the rest of the way to the woods, crying.
